Sky Bed

Dream A Little Dream. 

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Luxuriously self indulgent... that's what we are all about this evening. 

Just imagine laying in a bed that is hanging from an arbor, on the third floor of your beach house, listening to the ocean, enjoying the cool breeze of the night air... got it? Welcome to the Sky Bed. 

I can't think of a better way to spend an evening. Grab a cocktail, turn on some music and lazily graze on a few decadent snacks you put together earlier. Just lay back and relax... we got this.

The Pots Are On!

The Plate...

Garlic Hummus, Goat Cheese Peppadew Peppers & Strawberry Chocolate Shots

Just a little something to help pass the time as you sip on your cocktail listening to the ocean waves hit the shore. Forget about dinner. 

Sometimes you just need to gear down and enjoy the night. We've put together a little sampling of some of our favorite apps for your lounging pleasure. Just be careful with the strawberries... they are addictive. 

What you need...

4 garlic cloves
2 cups canned chickpeas / drained (keep the liquid)
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/3 cup sesame paste
6 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 tbsp of the liquid from the chickpeas
8 dashes of hot sauce

The Peppadews - 
Place goat cheese in a zip lock bag and cut a small hole in the bottom corner.
Squeeze the cheese into the Peppadew peppers.
